Tables do not get rendered for docs processed by recommonmark

[poonai]

This is a

• Bug report
• Feature request

Tables not being part of the core commonmark spec aren't supported natively by recommonmark. recommonmark currently does not provide an api to create extensions. So currently table aren't rendered if present in a markdown file processed by recommonmark

@pri22296 can you check this?

[pri22296]

It seems recommonmark doesn't support Headings as list elements. As a workaround could you edit this line https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-android/blame/a01dff63e7d1e858489583c42a8c6f64029844f5/docs/apk-generator.md#L57 and https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-android/blame/a01dff63e7d1e858489583c42a8c6f64029844f5/docs/apk-generator.md#L67 so that the numbers are part of the heading and try if the error still happens?

@pri22296 will check and let you know

@pri22296 it is working. but the table is not rendering properly here http://yaydoc.herokuapp.com/preview/[email protected]/aedc5d53-cf14-43f0-8cd2-8ec0db5d0c62_preview/INSTALLATION_LOCAL.html https://github.com/sch00lb0y/open-event-webapp/blob/development/docs/INSTALLATION_LOCAL.md . I tried a lot but not able to find.

The table is not rendering because the markdown is incorrect

I have tried but then still not rendering 😢 😢

[pri22296]

Ok, It seems tables aren't part of the core commonmark spec. Check this thread for more info readthedocs/recommonmark#3

@pri22296 @Sch00lb0y Is this issue solved?

[pri22296]

I think it was. @Sch00lb0y can you confirm?

[poonai]

yeah solved. but table not rendering. close this ?

[imujjwal96]

@pri22296 facing this issue in loklak_server as well! is there a workaround?

[pri22296]

AFAIK no for now. Maybe use an html table for now?

You can use the eval_rst codeblock to embed an rst table. However I'm not sure which approach is less hacky.

[pri22296]

@imujjwal96 @Sch00lb0y If the only remaining issue is related to tables, I would suggest to close this issue and reopen a new issue stating that or edit this issue's description. I would try to find some solution to this problem, however, don't depend on that. Please proceed with temporary solutions mentioned in my previous comment or maybe just ignore the table for now.

@pri22296 Please edit this issue's description
